CX tap, 6/15/23. Clear, pale-brass. Small, white head, low retention. Very gentle floral/herbal hops with timid yeast and plentiful biscuit and white bread. Light apple. Very pleasant but very light, even with warming. Earth and bread up front. More breadiness than perhaps I'd prefer. Almost a hint of dry caramel. It's certainly malty, rich and flavorful for its size, but I prefer a more yeast and/or hop driven pils. That's fine, though, these malts are well done and well attenuated. Reasonably crisp finish with gentle herbs and floral bitterness from hop.

Tap @ Lamplighter CX. Clear gold pour, thin ring of loose bubbles. Pleasantly mild flavour profile, with emerging subtle grape hints, pleasantly sweet.. nice Mexican lager.

375ml bottle, takeout from Lamplighter's Cambridge brewpub, sipped at our hotel in North Conway, New Hampshire. Clear, deep amber with a tan topping. Nicely complex old ale with teasing dark caramel, port and subtle leather.. exceptional harmony of flavours, if a little mild flavoured overall.

Pours hazy gold into a stein. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Sweet hay and caramel aromas. Sweet with hay and bread front to back. Easy drinking indeed.

On tap at the brewery. Pours black. Chocolate, vanilla, booze, hefty booze, whisky, powerful booze. Medium body. Fine. Bit much.
